Winona Ryder is a Kleptomaniac

It looks like Winona Ryder may be up to her old tricks again. According to the National Enquirer, Ryder was recently stopped outside of a CVS Pharmacy when she set off the alarm while walking out of the store.

The store has officially confirmed the report saying,

“Winona had a bag of stuff, but she set off the theft alarm when she left the store.

When a security guard stopped her, he found make-up she had not paid for.

We took unpaid items back and she left the store.”

When asked about the makeup, Ryder claimed,

“I don’t know how that happened.”

The store decided not to press charges or cause a big scene and let the actress go without incident.

Ryder’s publicist first denied that the incident happened, but after being told that a store employee confirmed it, she said she needed to check with her client again.

The actress was busted back in 2002 for shoplifting $5,000 worth of clothing from a Beverly Hills store. She claimed she was getting into character for an upcoming role. She was sentenced to 480 hours of community service.

I guess old habits die hard. Or maybe she is just preparing for another role.
